I figured since I was new to the site and was suggested to do a tank thread I might as well. I started my tank about 2 and half years ago. Started with an old 55gallon tank and hang on filter with and live rock and sand I found off eBay along with some sand from the store. Then about 6 months later I moved the tank and purchased a magnum 350 deluxe. Then about another 6 months later I had to move again and upgraded to a 75gallon tank and purchased a jebo 4 stage filter. Then about 4 months later I moved it yet again. Then I got injured and had to move the tank to my parents where I was recovering. While there I purchased some more live rock off craigslist packed full with serpent sea stars. For 3 dollars a pound!!! Now I have moved it back to Olympia about two months ago and have just purchased and installed a fluval fx5. That’s more less the moving history of this tank. And with all those moves I never lost a fish some how.
Equipment: It’s a 75 gallon tank with a fluval fx5 and a magnum 350 with the biowheels and a 9watt Turbo-Twist UV Sterilizers and a Prizm Deluxe skimmer. It’s too small but it works. Also have a dual bak pak but it won’t fit on the tank :( For lighting I have a power compact with two SunPaq Dual Daylight 6700ºK/10000ºK 65W and 2 SunPaq Dual Actinic 420/460nm 65W.
Live stock:Im not sure exactly how much live rock I have nor do I know how much sand but its about 2 to 3 inches deep.2 clown fish, 1 hippo tang, 1 blue reef cromi, I bi-color dotty back, 1 fire fish 1 damsel and 1 clown goby. 2 camel back shrimp 2 cleaner shrimp a sally light foot 1 brittle starfish and 1 serpent starfish 1 sand sifter and two weird feather dusters shaped like a Christmas tree? Along with a bunch of hermit crabs and snails. A bunch of mushrooms a green ricordia a hairy mushroom some Kenya trees a plate coral a bunch of zooanthids 3 different kinds an awesome clam and an open brain coral I think? Along with some other lil anemones I have no clue what they are.
 
Nice, We'd like to get one of those too, once the tank has aged a little. Yours looks really good in there!
 
We moved all the livestock from our 29 tank(1yr old) to the 46 about 4wks ago? i think? And we added the sump/fuge then, with a DSB. We had pc's on the old tank, they did alright, For the new tank we got a 6-54w t5ho, which is awesome! We moved the pc's to the sump, cuz thats the old tank down there. We're going to use that for baby frags & stuff too. It's going to be cool! The thing i heard about crocea is that they're one of the smallest & slowest growing, so they won't takeover a tank which is important with only 46g!! lol
 
its been awhile since ive added to this. i was feeding my tank and noticed my brain coral all opened up so i took a couple pics.

I'm not sure what that little guy is either to be honest. May have to wait until it is a little larger.
